Chapter 111: Night Market Food
"Well, maybe it won't get them noticed, but hopefully they haven't scanned your DNA."
Betty continued.

After all, in the future world, even if the underworld has such advanced technology, it is reasonable. Chen Xingying wanted to complain, but after thinking of this, she just forgot it.
I didn't expect more packages to be mailed at night, there were several near the same place to be delivered, but fortunately, Chen Xingying and the three of them helped her deliver them together.
There were indeed members of the Salvation Society on the road who inquired about their whereabouts when they were patrolling, but I didn't expect the sunglasses to play a role, and I didn't recognize them when I passed by.
Before nine o'clock, Betty had delivered all the packages.
"Ahh Thank you for ending your day so early. Betty said as she got into the car and stretched. The expression looked a little tired.
"Well, Betty, did you have to deliver so much every day?" Chen Xin asked from behind.
"Well, this is quite little, I was absent from work for two days to be so little, and I don't know if my uncle has already let others give away a lot."
"Recently, because of the problem of public security, there are a lot fewer people who call couriers. Otherwise, I would have been busy from morning to night, and I would only earn 5,000 a month," Betty said.
β5000οΌ So little? Chen Xingying exclaimed behind her back.
"Yes, otherwise you think that although it is a little hard, it is already a very good treatment for the residents of the lower city."
Betty began to chew bubblegum, and for some reason she made it look like she was smoking.
Although it should also play a role in relieving mental stress.
"Can you eat in this world?" Then Betty asked, looking back.
"Yes, although it can't really fill your stomach, you still have the sense of taste." Chen Xingying replied.
"Okay, I'll take you to a good place." Betty said, starting the car.
The destination is a small night market on the edge of Midtown.
After getting off the bus, Chen Xingying looked around the entire night market and found that in addition to using laser screens as signboards, it was similar to the night market in her own city.
"Come on, this is it!" Betty led the three to a stall. The stall owner of this shop was dressed in white, like a chef in a high-end restaurant, and the chef's hat was high, and he took the initiative to speak when he saw Betty coming.
"Isn't this Betty, I haven't been here in days, and I'm starting to miss you!"
This translation cavity and high-pitched voice... It's androids, that's right.
"High hat, I'll bring a few friends here today, and you can come to all the dishes I usually like." Betty said as she beckoned Chenxin and them in.
"High hat..."Chen Xingying whispered the name.
"Sit!"
The shop is small, with only three tables visible to the naked eye.
"This shop opened when I was the same age as you, don't look so inconspicuous, but this boss cooks authentic dishes." Betty said after they all sat down.
300 years later, Chen Xingying is still looking forward to it.
"By the way, do you want beer?" Betty asked.
"No, no, we're underage." Chen Xin and Xiao Chu hurriedly waved their hands and refused.
"Then little brother, you must have a few drinks. We don't have a rule that minors can't drink. Betty said to Chen Xingying.
"Huh? I! "It's over, and I've missed the best time to say no.
"High hat, two more beers." Betty exclaimed.
"Why do you call this boss a tall hat?" Chen Xingying asked.
"According to my father, the tall hat used to be a cook for a wealthy family in Uptown. I've been there for generations. But because the model is too old, it has been disliked by the little owner of the family.
After the old master died, the little master secretly sold him to a merchant on the black market. When he was about to be dismantled to sell parts, my dad's good friend rescued him and recommended him to open a shop here.
I didn't expect the dishes he made to be unexpectedly delicious... Maybe it's because the people in Uptown eat so well that he can't do it, but for us people in Downtown, it's really nice to be able to eat traditional food.
My dad's friend is also a chef, so he gave him the uniform of a star restaurant before he retired, and he has been wearing it until now. That's why the hat is so conspicuous that people will tease him: Yo, you're wearing a high hat again today? So over time, everyone, including himself, called it that. β
"Oh... Interesting story. Chen Xingying sighed while thinking.
"I feel that there are many such things in martial arts novels. Everything before the young master overthrew the lord or something. Chen Xin also sighed there.
"So, it's been like this for a long time." Betty said with great feeling.
"Guest! Here comes the dish. "It was the tall hat who brought the first course, along with two cold beers.
The three of them stared at the dish together.
"Isn't this just a plate of siu-mei platter?" Xiao Chu said with wide eyes.
"Well, indeed, it's our dish." Chen Xin nodded and said.
"This is a long-lost Southern cuisine, are you the ones who are there?" Betty looked at the two of them excitedly for some reason.
"Huh? Lost? Xiao Chu asked with a confused expression.
"Come on, don't worry about so much, eat first." After finishing speaking, he opened the wine bottle and poured a glass directly, and the cup that helped Chen Xingying was also full.
"Cheers, little brother!" Then he raised his glass to toast to Chen Xingying.
"Oooh!" Chen Xingying raised her glass in a panic... Nothing like this has ever been done before.
Then Betty drank most of the glass in one go.
"Cool!" At this moment, Betty finally showed a little bit of a middle-aged aunt... Sure enough, after a busy day, the prototype will be exposed.
Chen Xingying also gulped down, in order to cater to Betty.
"Professor, don't drink so much." Chen Xin asked with concern... It's like a girl who advises her boyfriend to drink less.
"It's okay, we're not drunk here... Presumably. Chen Xingying returned with a smile.
"Come on, pick up the vegetables." But before Betty could finish saying this, Xiao Chu had already gone down with two pieces of meat.
"Wow! Master, Sister Xiaolin, this is so authentic, it's delicious! We're going to have to look for a while to find this level of siu-mei. Then he exclaimed.
"Really?" Chen Xingying and Chen Xin also tasted a piece of the doubt.
It's really delicious, delicious with juice spreading in your own taste buds. I have never eaten such delicious roast pork in reality...
And Xiao Chu and Chen Xin, who are in the southern city, should be very demanding about this dish, but seeing Chen Xin's expression that seems to be very satisfied, it is really good.
"Hello, the dish is here again!" The tall hat brought two more dishes.
After that, it was all about the special southern cuisine: steamed pork ribs, shrimp, beef brisket and so on. Each dish is as delicious as you can only eat in a starred restaurant.
"Well, I recommend it!" Betty proudly raised her glass and said, as if she had already drunk a little.
"Really, can't you believe that any chef who can cook such a delicious dish will be eliminated?" Xiao Chu asked in surprise.
"For sure, people in Uptown and Midtown are eating synthetic foods right now." Betty said.
"Synthetic food?" Chen Xingying is very curious about this ranking.
And I don't know why I feel a little bit like I have a little head after drinking a few beers, is it a psychological effect?
"That's right, with the latest technology, all the flavors are combined into one dish, so that whoever tastes it will feel delicious."
Betty explained for no apparent reason, and it was hard to imagine what it was.
"By the way, there were so many people from the Salvation Society who were killed by Neil at today's concert, didn't it be reported?"
Chen Xin asked suddenly.
"I didn't notice... There are no reports. But it's normal for a few people to die in the shopping street, isn't it that you found that no one paid attention to it when you were at the scene? Betty returned.
"Not really, as if you didn't see it." Chen Xin said on the side.
"Look, let me say, the people in this city are numb the more they go up." Betty said with a sigh.
That's too numb, although there is not much movement, but what Neil is doing is undoubtedly a massacre...
For some reason, Chen Xingying always felt a chill and unknown fear behind her.
"Team 18... Now there are only 18 teams at most, and we eliminated one team in Downtown. Chen Xin said.
"yes, but there shouldn't be 18 teams, and there must be teams and teams somewhere." Chen Xingying returned, but it seemed that Chen Xin had something else to say.
"I think that's why the participating teams have such a large venue." Chen Xin said it directly.
Chen Xingying also thinks so.
"Maybe it's intentional... And..."Chen Xingying looked at Betty.
"What's wrong, little brother?" Betty, who was drinking and talking, actually lay on the table, made a charming expression, and teased Chen Xingying.
"Is the world really created just for the game? Although the Taoyuan system itself pays attention to details, it inevitably pays too much attention to it. Chen Xin forcibly pulled Chen Xingying's gaze back.
However, the reason why Chen Xingying stared at Betty was actually to say what Chen Xin had already said.
"Maybe it's more than just a playing field?" Xiao Chu said suddenly on the side.
"What do you think, maybe this will be a world open to official users in the future, and then since it has been built, it can't be wasted and used as a competition venue, anyway, there are so many competitions, and it will be troublesome for him to find one venue after another." Xiao Chu continued.
"It's... It seems to make some sense. Chen Xingying nodded.
It's a crude explanation, but it seems to be the most plausible at the moment.
